coastal grl PRE-SWIM Leave-In Hair Protectant for Saltwater & Chlorine — Tropical Coconut Pineapple, 6.8 fl oz, Lightweight Detang

Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is a lightweight leave-in cream that shields hair from chlorine, saltwater, sun exposure and drying pool or beach conditions while adding smoothness and detangling benefits.

Whether you swim for fitness or fun, repeated exposure to chlorinated pools, ocean salt, and sun can leave hair dry, tangled and dull. Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is formulated as a multi-use barrier and moisturizer you apply before getting wet, or as a leave-in after washing. It uses a blend of nourishing oils, vitamins and botanical proteins to create a silky coating that helps hair resist environmental stressors while remaining soft, manageable, and lightweight.

How does PRE-SWIM protect hair during pool or beach days?

The product forms a thin, non-greasy film around each strand to reduce direct contact with chlorine, salt and UV exposure. This barrier helps limit moisture loss and tangling that commonly follow swims, making hair easier to comb and style afterward.

• Apply evenly to dry or damp hair before entering water.
• Coating helps reduce salt and chlorine penetration.
• Lightweight oils prevent heavy buildup while adding slip for detangling.
• Tropical scent leaves hair smelling fresh after swimming.

Will it work on color-treated, bleached, or extension hair?

Yes — the formula is salon-friendly and designed to be safe for color-treated, highlighted and chemically processed hair as well as extensions. Ingredients like Vitamin B5 and quinoa help improve manageability without stripping color or weighing down delicate strands.

• Color-safe formulation avoids harsh surfactants.
• Suitable for synthetic and keratin-treated extensions.
• Non-greasy finish maintains style and shine.
• Helps detangle fragile, porous hair after swimming.

How can I use it beyond pre-swim protection?

Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is versatile: use as a leave-in after washing, a detangling cream, a frizz-control styling aid, or a pre-shampoo conditioning layer. It works well on wet hair to distribute moisture and on dry hair to tame flyaways or refresh texture between washes.

• Leave-in after showering for daily hydration and slip.
• Apply before blow-drying to smooth and protect from heat styling.
• Use as a curl cream to define waves and reduce frizz.
• Smear a small amount on ends as a pre-shampoo treatment for deeper conditioning.

What key ingredients help hair feel healthy and soft?

The formula blends lightweight plant oils, vitamins and hydrolyzed botanical protein to nourish without residue. Together, these components improve softness, add shine, and support easier brushing after exposure to sun, salt or pool chemicals.

• Argan, grapeseed and sweet almond oils for moisture and shine.
• Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to support hair manageability and resilience.
• Hydrolyzed quinoa to help strengthen and reduce tangles.
• Subtle coconut pineapple fragrance for a fresh, beachy scent.

Who is this for? Coastal Grl PRE-SWIM is aimed at active swimmers, beachgoers and anyone who wants to lessen the drying effects of saltwater, chlorine and sun on their hair. It fits all hair types — straight, wavy, curly, coily, fine or thick — and is particularly useful for color-treated, highlighted, bleached hair and extensions. If you need a portable, multi-function leave-in that protects before swims, smooths after washing, and simplifies styling throughout the day, this travel-ready 6.8 fl oz bottle is designed to become a regular in your pool bag, beach tote or bathroom shelf.
